Young County · Young County Regular field · Vertical
Cole J. A. #3 (API 42-503-35125) is a plugged well in Young County, plugged March 14, 2003, last operated by Whitten Energy Corp..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 24, 1981, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Kirk, Cole and has since transferred to Whitten Energy Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Breck Ridge Lime.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.05K barrels of oil and 40 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Kirk, Cole; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
